If you're interested in working in the software industry but don't know the first thing about coding, there are still many jobs available for you. Your options range from working as support staff at a software development company to testing video games before they're released to the public. A little creativity and a lot of networking are the keys to finding these non-coding software jobs.

Video Game Tester Jobs

One option is working as a tester for video games. Video game developers frequently need testers who don't have coding experience and are just willing to play the game for hours on end. You don't need a specific degree to get this job. Instead, game producers are looking for people who are passionate about video games, detail-oriented and with strong communication skills, both verbal and written. When searching for these jobs online, look for quality assurance tester in addition to video game tester. According to Gamasutra's annual game developer salary survey, in 2013 game QA testers made an average of $54,833 a year.

Design Maps and Scenery for Games

If you have a creative flair and love to draw, you might be able to find a non-coding job using your talents with a game development company. Some companies specifically look for people to design intricate maps and scenery for their three-dimensional games. Game development companies recommend playing games that have a 3-D map editor. Use the editor to create your own map levels, terrain and triggers. Then when you apply for a job with the company, include the maps that you developed with your resume as examples of your work. According to Gamasutra's annual survey, video game artists and animators made an annual salary of $74,349 in 2013.

Marketing and Sales for Software

Tech lovers who are talented in marketing and sales are in high demand in the tech industry. This type of job allows you to work closely with software without having to know anything about coding the software itself. You should understand industry language and know all the various ways of selling products on the web, such as using social media and online booking programs. You should be extroverted, willing to make lots of phone calls and understand the software well enough to advise potential buyers. The Bureau of Labor Statistics doesn't list a salary specifically for software marketing, but marketing and promotions managers in general made an average of $115,750 a year as of 2012. Advertising agents, meanwhile, made a lower average salary of $46,290 a year as of 2012.

Support Staff for Software Companies

Many support-level jobs are available in software companies that don't require any coding knowledge. For example, you might work in human resources or finance at a software company. You might work as a project manager, helping to keep developers on task, assigning deadlines and acting as a liaison between developers and management. Finding these jobs is a matter of searching job board postings online or going to individual software companies' websites and looking at their careers section. According to Gamasutra's annual salary survey, people who work in management for human resources or general administration at a video game company make an average of $101,572 a year. If you have less than three years experience, expect to make an average of $67,348 a year.
